A new comfortable chair, ordered Saturday, arrived today. :D

Now I just need to somehow get rid of the annoying smell the (imitated?) leather has. :confused:
Edit: Vinegar and water in equal parts seems to have taken the worst of the smell. :dopey:

I never understood the whole North America SNES, not just the controllers.

The urban legend is that lots of kids in America used to put drinks on the original NES as a coaster, and would often spill them and damage it. To get around this for the SNES, Nintendo's American division did a much more angular version compared to Japan and Europe, which meant kids couldn't stack things on it due to the awkward shape.
 
I feel sorry for america.
They just get purple buttons rather than the RGYB bliss that the rest of the world got.
Back then I didn't have the Internet so first realised the fugly SNES version from watching Donkey Kong Country Exposed VHS.

It was all we knew, pre-internet days and coming from the red button NES, it seemed completely normal to us anyways. I quite like the purple actually, it's the RGYB that is weird. Although, my 3DS has the RGYB buttons, so we got them eventually. :lol:

Meet my new work shoes, same as my old ones. The old ones are being demoted to around-town putzing after I might have gotten a spork wedged between the sole and the rest of the shoe. Have old work boots that are a foot insert away from pinch-hitting in the meantime.




(Also shut up I'm contemplating jumping from Android to an older iPhone)

I actually don't mind the look of the purple buttons on the N/A version of the SNES. It's the weird shaped console they got, that I can't wrap my head around. :crazy: :lol:
 
Winter is coming and so are wet and muddy bike trails. So it was time to get a rack for the car, no more faffing about getting the bike into the back of my little car.

Some none-music related purchases. Which nowadays is rare for me as most of my spare cash is used up on Records/CDs

Neca Xenomorph figure. I also picked up the Neca Neomorph figure too (now with pics)

Two Red Dwarf T-Shirts. First is the new Scutter one for me. The second one Starbug for the lady in my life.

I haven’t played a single Naruto game, since Ultimate Ninja 3 and the original Ultimate Ninja Storm; until NOW!

Finally upgraded from the G27 that's been collecting dust lately.

Everything mounted up with the clamps until I get a better drill. Never had use for anything more powerful than the cheap Black and Decker I have in my apartment, but it's not so good going through metal.
 
It's time to replace my Nexus 5X since it's probably on its last legs. Since I hate all Android phones except ones that come with stock or at least mostly stock Android, I figured I'd go with the Pixel 2.

Nice, I have a Pixel XL and I adore it, by far and away my favorite phone on the market now. Did you go with the XL version?
